Blommer Chocolate Company

People only think about Blommer for the delicious chocolate smell that you find in that part of River North. What most people don't realize is there is actually a factory store attached to that lovely smelling factory. You can find everything from bulk blocks and chips for your baking to dipped pretzels, truffles, nuts and so much more.
Chocolat Uzma Sharif
1823 S. Halsted St.
You're in for unique flavors when you head to this Pilsen institution. With flavors like Indian chili caramel and dragon pearl jasmine you're in for a wonderful chocolate experience. Each truffle is a work of art that's almost too beautiful to eat. Pick up a box with just a couple or a box with all of them since it's tough to decide which flavor sounds the best.
Graham's Fine Chocolates & Ice Cream
302 S 3rd St, Geneva, IL 60134
No trip to the far western suburbs is complete without a trip to Graham's Fine Chocolate & Ice Cream. This shop is always bustling. While you can find some amazing truffles I always go for something that is chocolate dipped here. From chocolate covered potato chips to dipped apples as big as your head to chocolate covered Oreos. I recommend enjoying ice cream in the store and taking home a bunch of chocolate.

Talk to them about getting a molded chocolate. They've got over 1,000 different chocolate molds and if they don't have it they'll have it made.
